The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Layering**: Layering is a method of vegetative propagation where a part of the stem is buried in the soil while still attached to the parent plant. This allows the buried part to develop roots. 2. **Identifying the Process**: In layering, a flexible stem is selected. This stem is then bent and covered with soil, allowing it to remain connected to the parent plant. Over time, roots will form at the buried section. 3. **Examples of Plants**: Layering is commonly used for certain plants. The transcript mentions that layering is done in plants like strawberry and jasmine. 4. **Evaluating the Options**: The question provides four options: jasmine, rose, mango, and all of the above. - **Jasmine**: Correct, as layering is a method used for propagating jasmine. - **Rose**: Incorrect, as roses are typically propagated through cuttings, not layering. - **Mango**: Incorrect, as mangoes are usually propagated through grafting. 5. **Conclusion**: Since layering is specifically mentioned for jasmine and not for rose or mango, the correct answer to the question is **jasmine**. **Final Answer**: Jasmine ---
